   > MacOS isn't getting major updates

There is new version each year. And if you are talking about features, what feature would you consider "major update"? New filesystem maybe?

Source?

Source?

But I agree that they probably do not care about server markets.

TL;DR :

> In another sign that the company has prioritized the iPhone, Apple re-organized its software engineering department so there's no longer a dedicated Mac operating system team. There is now just one team, and most of the engineers are iOS first, giving the people working on the iPhone and iPad more power.

Bloomberg.

apple.com, major print media, and all Mac Stores, which have ads talking about why iPad Pro are laptop replacements. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQB2NjhJHvY

It sounds like you have very little involvement with Apple products.

If you’re going to call BS, please just call BS. Everyone knows what “source?” means.

I think most people who follow Apple already know this and those who don't could obtain sources easily - when sources are provided they're simply downvoted.

The whole thread has developed into Apple fans downvoting everyone who criticises the new approach to MacOS.

I don't have the time to locate all those source reference requests, but I know I've seen stories related to each point here on HN recently.

Seems fairly common knowledge that Apple have disbanded macOS team and is focusing on iOS based future. Am I mistaken?

>New filesystem maybe?

You mean the one that shipped on iOS first and benefits iOS the most? To me, that shows how far the Mac has fallen in Apple's priority list.

As a Mac user, it seems like the last 4+ years of MacOS updates have added nothing but greater iOS integration, bugs, and misfeatures.
